Xu Que was surprised. He didn't expect the Celestial Sect disciples to already know about it and even talk about it.
I haven't even entered the Underworld and there are already legends about me!
Not bad, not bad. This is a good sign!
Xu Que's vanity was satisfied and he couldn't help but smile.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave. He leaned against the wall and pretended to wait for someone. His ears perked up as he secretly eavesdropped on the conversation between the Celestial Sect disciples.
"It's said that the big shot was famous throughout the entire East Continent. Even our Sect Leader was afraid of him."
"It can't be? What's the background of that big shot? "
"I heard that he's called Duan Jiude."
"That's right. This afternoon, when the Setting Sun Faction came to look for our Sect Leader, I was standing guard at the entrance. When our Sect Leader heard the three words' Duan Jiude ', he looked very surprised. He even called him' Senior Duan '. Think about it. Even our Sect Leader has to call him Senior. How strong is he? "
"It can't be. Could it be that the person we're looking for is Senior Duan's disciple? This … This is going to be a huge problem! "
"It's true. I'm quite familiar with the Setting Sun Faction disciple. I heard from him that he's Senior Duan's disciple. It can't be wrong."
...
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 10 act tough points!"
Hearing this, Xu Que's mind rang with the system notification.
He paused for a moment.
Fuck, this is considered acting tough?
Seems like as long as I make a name for myself, people will start talking about me and I'll be considered to have acted tough.
However, listening to their conversation, Xu Que started to understand what was going on.
So it was the two Setting Sun Faction disciples who escaped earlier today who spread the news.
At that time, Elder Liu and the others had mistakenly thought that Xu Que was Duan Jiude's disciple. When the others heard it, they immediately reported it to their superiors. In the end, they created this false rumor.
However, Xu Que didn't intend to clarify anything. His eyes were shining as if he saw another opportunity to act tough.
"Duan Jiude. Even the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader had to address him as' Senior '. How could he be my Master? Haha, if I don't make use of it, wouldn't I be letting you down? "
The corner of Xu Que's mouth curled up, and he immediately left, seizing the time to purchase resources.
…
At the same time, far away in the Celestial Sect's meeting hall, a few Sect Elders and Sect Leaders, including the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader, were seated in a discussion.
Their topics were still related to Xu Que, but they were mostly talking about Duan Jiude.
"This is no small matter. That Senior Duan has a strange temperament. His reputation … cough, everyone should be very clear about it. If we really hurt his disciple, with his temper, I'm afraid the consequences will be unthinkable." An elder of a small sect said while stroking his beard.
"Bullsh * t. Your Blazing Flame Sect didn't suffer any losses. Of course you would say that. But how many of our Sunset Sect's disciples have died, and two Gold Core stage elders have fallen. If we just let this matter go, then how can our Sunset Sect establish itself in the Fire Empire? "
"That's right. Our Fire Cloud Sect has suffered great losses as well. We definitely won't let this matter go."
"That kid was so vicious. How can we just let this matter go? Sect Leader Zhang, please help us. "
"Sect Leader Zhang, please help us!"
Immediately, a few Sect Leaders and Sect Elders stood up and bowed to a middle-aged man who was sitting in the main seat, asking him to step forward.
The middle-aged man was wearing a white satin robe. His eyes were bright, and he didn't look angry. He was the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader, Zhang Dan Shan!
Zhang Dan Shan had been in the Infant Transformation Stage for many years. His cultivation level was now at Infant Transformation Stage level five. He was only one level weaker than the Emperor of the Fire Empire.
The reason why the Celestial Sect could become a Great Sect under the jurisdiction of the various Sects was naturally because of his valiant strength.
At this point, his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he felt that this matter wasn't easy to handle.
The famous name of Duan Jiude, Zhang Dan Shan had heard of it when he was young. He had even met him a few times.
He knew very well how terrifying the Senior Duan's strength was. However, the Senior Duan hadn't appeared in the East Continent for hundreds of years. Now that a young man had popped out of nowhere and claimed to be his disciple, Zhang Dan Shan had some doubts.
He had heard that the young man had many strange treasures on him. He could shrink the ground and escape from the clutches of an Original Infant Stage Elder. Then, he set up a huge spell in Pan Shan Village. With a cultivation of the Core Bearing Stage, he single-handedly killed more than ten cultivators. Among them were a few Golden Core Stage Elders.
Zhang Dan Shan immediately swept away the doubts in his heart. He could basically confirm that the young man was the disciple of Duan Jiude.
Looking at the entire world, only the disciple of the Senior Duan could have so many tricks up his sleeves. His style of doing things was also very similar. He liked to steal from other people's treasure vaults and was merciless in killing people.
After pondering for some time, Zhang Dan Shan looked at the Sect Leaders of the smaller Sects and finally opened his mouth.
"This matter is indeed not a small matter. Everyone has more or less heard of the deeds of the Senior Duan. Now that his disciple has come to our Sect, we should treat him with respect. However, he didn't pay us a visit and even stole a small treasure vault from our Celestial Sect. He has harmed the lives of our Sect's disciples. If we don't give him an explanation, it would be inexcusable. "
Zhang Dan Shan paused for a moment before continuing, "How about this. Everyone can stay in Celestial Sect for the time being. Tomorrow, I will send someone to look for the young man. If he is willing to apologize to everyone here, this matter shall end here."
Apologize and that's it?
If this was any other day, nobody would be willing to do this.
However, after Zhang Dan Shan said these words, nobody objected. Instead, they all nodded their heads in agreement. Finally, they bowed and said in unison, "This matter shall be decided by Sect Leader Zhang."
After all, they were small Sects. Just now, they had a look of anger on their faces as they spoke ruthlessly. In fact, it was because they couldn't bear to lose face.
However, if they were asked to kill Duan Jiude's disciple, they wouldn't dare to do so even if they were given a hundred guts.
Now that Zhang Dan Shan had spoken these words, it was equivalent to giving these small Sects a way out of this embarrassing situation. They had no reason not to accept it.
However, just as everyone thought that this matter was about to be resolved, a discordant voice rang out.
"Sect Leader, I don't agree with this matter."
An old woman stood up and spoke loudly.
It was the Celestial Sect Elder who wanted to kill Xu Que previously. He was also Tang Xue Rou's master, Sun Jue Li.
"Elder Sun, do you have any objections?" Zhang Dan Shan swept a glance at her, frowned and asked calmly.
The old woman replied coldly, "That little bastard's hands are stained with so much blood. How can we let him off so easily? Moreover, this person might not be Duan Jiude's disciple. After all, he has never revealed his identity. Moreover, when I saw him a few days ago, he even pretended to be the Prince Consort of the Fire Empire. This person might be a liar. Even if we kill him, when Duan Jiude comes knocking on our door, we will be the ones in the right. "
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's faces turned strange.
Not only did they not suspect Xu Que's identity, but they were even more convinced that Xu Que was Duan Jiude's disciple.
Impersonating someone's identity, wasn't this what Duan Jiude loved to do? It was normal for his disciple to have such a hobby.
Zhang Dan Shan waved his hands and said, "Whether he's Senior Duan's disciple or not, when he comes to Celestial Sect tomorrow, I will naturally know. Tomorrow, send someone to Pan Shan Village to invite him over. That's all. "
As soon as he finished speaking, his silhouette started to fade away, like a drop of water falling onto a piece of paper. Slowly, it became blurry and finally disappeared from the meeting hall.
Such divine powers, everyone was used to it.
They also understood the meaning behind Zhang Dan Shan's last sentence.
As for how to deal with this young man, they would have to wait until tomorrow to see if he was Duan Jiude's disciple.
If he was, then they couldn't kill him.
